Viadotto di Morlaix

Viadotto di Morlaix
Il grande viadotto ottocentesco, miracolosamente rimasto illeso nei bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale, è un prodigio di ingegneria. Questo edificio mastodontico attraversa il cuore storico della città e i suoi numeri sono da capogiro: alto 62 metri , lungo 292 metri, 14 archi superiori e 9 inferiori, fu eretto in due anni e mezzo, tra il 1861 e il 1863. Un’impresa unica nel suo genere, con una struttura a ponti ad arco semicircolare a due piani ideata dagli ingegneri Planchat e Fenoux. Fin dall’inizio, il piano superiore era destinato alla linea ferroviaria Parigi-Brest, mentre il piano inferiore, battezzato nel 2012 Promenade De Guichen, era aperto ai pedoni gratuitamente durante il giorno. Oggi accessibile a piedi dai vicoli venelle de la roche e venelle aux prêtres, regala un panorama eccezionale sul porto turistico e sul centro storico di Morlaix.

The great 19th-century viaduct, miraculously unscathed in the bombings of World War II, is an engineering marvel. This mammoth building crosses the historic heart of the city and its numbers are mind-boggling: 62 metres high, 292 metres long, 14 upper and 9 lower arches, it was erected in two and a half years, between 1861 and 1863. It was a unique feat, with a two-storey semicircular arch bridge structure designed by engineers Planchat and Fenoux. From the beginning, the upper floor was intended for the Paris-Brest railway line, while the lower floor, christened Promenade De Guichen in 2012, was open to pedestrians free of charge during the day. Today accessible on foot from the alleys venelle de la roche and venelle aux prêtres, it offers an exceptional panorama of the marina and the old town of Morlaix.

When we visited Morlaix in 1992, I wasn't aware one could walk along the viaduct. A pity!
Super shot!
